Ok. I give up! I tried. I truly tried. But pg 180 was all the further I could go. And I had to force myself to get that far. Terrible. Disgusting. Sad. I like to watch a crappy movie every once in a while but I can't make myself read a D-list book. Ugh.

This slim piece by Cusk is poetic and fluid. The stream of conciousness style writing is well suited for the topic. Her thoughts swim around in the days and months following her divorce. She draws comparisons to Greek mythology and questions family structure. This book will be a great point of reference for divorce, family studies, cultural expectations of marriage, and especially for the reflections of a modern scholar on her emotional fragility following her marriage's demise.
